I think that's important to have in something like a national television show. It's important to portray a woman realistically, and not just as a bridezilla.
I did plays in high school and I really loved it, but I think singing was always what I loved most of all.
I love movies, but I think people think relationships are supposed to go how they go in movies. The ones I like are the ones that represent life.
I think television is really incredible because of the fact that you get to sit with a character for so, and the character does something different, every week. I think that's really interesting.
I mangle phrases constantly. The other day I was chatting with my boyfriend and I said to him, 'He really sold him under the bus.' And he said, 'I think you meant 'threw him under the bus,' or 'sold him up the river.
I think one of the funniest things about '30 Rock' is that Liz Lemon is sort of like Buster Keaton - she's always the fool, the joke is always on her.
I used to have a lot of recurring dreams about Captain Hook when I was a little kid, which I remember very vividly. But I think I just really liked Peter Pan a lot, and 'Hook' was my favorite movie.
I don't think there are hour comedies, but if there were, I would have been open to it.
I've auditioned for musicals a lot, but I think my voice didn't really match what they were looking for. I went to school for musical theater for a year and dropped out. Legit musicals are not quite my forte.
People get into relationships. They get married and have kids, and all of a sudden, you can't just pick up and go get coffee, or go away for the weekend together, or go to a costume party together. It becomes a thing you have to plan.
You have to hold on to what you find because life has a way of throwing you curve balls that you never expect.
There's nothing like theater. It's really amazing. But it does take up all of your time. I would like to get into more film, just because I find it super fascinating.
There's no way that you're going to please all of America, or all of the fans.
I wasn't a very good student. I prefer to learn by experience.
